Step 3: Make the Cream Cheese Frosting
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth and creamy.
Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, mixing on low to avoid a sugar cloud.
Once all sugar is incorporated, increase the speed and beat until light and fluffy.
Add ½ teaspoon vanilla extract and mix until combined.
Fold in 2 cups of crushed pecans for added texture and flavor.
